I got up early on Sunday for an early fall walk. It was still dark and I was hoping to catch the sunrise. Once I got out, I noticed the heavy clouds, and winds. But I went to the top of the Scarborough bluffs anyways. Once the sun came up , I noticed this barge...waayy off in the distance.
These are pretty much what it looked like right from the camera. I underexposed the shot, and only added a bit of contrast in PS to get the rays to show up a bit more. Not as good as I would have liked.

very, very nice. One idea for you on mornings like this when you get up before the sun does, is to put your Digital Rebel on a tripod and shoot the sky with program mode at the first little hint of light. It will be a long exposure but the sky will have awesome colors that you can not see with your eyes.

Thank you everyone for your comments. I appreciate them all.
LaFoto....I was amazed what I had been missing, by sleeping till the sun was up. Some of the early morning skys are just spectacular.
Wally....Thanks buddy for the advice. I must give that a try.
